February is African Heritage Month at the TDSB

February
is African Heritage Month at the Toronto District School Board and we’re proud
to recognize the experiences, contributions and achievements of African
Canadians. This year’s theme is Out of many we are one: Across differences our
commonalities uplift our African heritage, culture and people.

Throughout
the month of February, we will highlight the many contributions that the
African Canadian community has made by offering several educational
opportunities to our students, staff and the TDSB community. These
opportunities include students attending the Know Your Worth: Black Youth
Empowerment Conference which is a joint collaboration with the TDSB and the
Black Law Students’ Association at York University; visiting the Royal Ontario
Museum; learning about coding at Apple Stores and visiting the Ibada Market
Place exhibit. Further, a parent session is being organized by the Parent and
Community Engagement Office on How to Speak to Your Children About Racism.
